Happy Birthday and Smash Cakes

We're still waiting to get the pictures back from the birthday party but in the meantime I thought I'd post this video of everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to Charlie and Lily. Neither seemed particularly interested in their smash cakes, but given the heat, the lack of naps, and the crowd of people, I guess we really can't blame them.

I don't know about everyone else, but those giant cupcakes look DELICIOUS!

Charlie and Lily look like they have already had a full day of it. I bet a lil nap would have made a big difference before cake time . Lots of action and attention probably wore them out quick ! Charlie looks like he could doze off any second in the video. Happy 1st birthday little ones !!!

That looks like so much fun - Happy Birthday to Charlie and Lily - I love that you sang to each of them individually!

What a wonderful time you all had! And the cakes...too cute. I will tell you , though...we have six kids...and none of them ever touched the cake without being "really encouraged" to do so. Our youngest daughter was more interested in the candle, and I was so busy taking pics I didn't notice when she tried to grab the flame! My oldest grandson, though, he went absolutely crazy! (maybe because he had really never had any sweets, other than the "uncle sneaks" he had gotten from my boys! Congrats to you all on all you have endured this year! You have two smiling toddlers, and one angel smiling from above, who, I am sure, was grinning from ear to ear!

WOW those cupcakes look yummy! I saw cupcakes that look very similar to those, if not the same and I'm wondering where and how those cupcakes came to be?!! Is it a special order. How fun!

Happy Birthday to Lily and Charlie and AnnaLeigh. I remember when I first followed you when you were in the hospital and can't believe it's already been a year. Lily and Charlie are just the happiest little babies and so cute! I wish your family all the happiness for the next year!

Thanks everyone!

As for the giant cupcakes, I made them! I just used the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan (http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-2105-5038-Giant-Cupcake-Pan/dp/B000UPRAXA) and then iced them with frosting I had colored with food coloring. It was easy!

I was cracking up at Lily's blank stare while everyone sang to her! SO cute!
